HERMAN SCHMIDT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

PEANUT-WARMER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Tiny 1.7, 1917.

Application led September 30, 1912. Serial No. 723,268.

Vand novel display case; second to provide a peep hole for the burner; third,to make a strong and durable gasolene tank, fourth, to make a cheap, attractive and durable device and other features to become apparent from the description to follow.

My invention comprises several good and important features which necessarily make it more marketable than any peanut warmers heretofore placed on the market, as for instance, a display compartment on all sides of the device; a drain for each display compartment; each compartment being accessible; a peep hole for the burner which is covered by transparent material; and the gasolene tank which has the downwardly extending outlet pipe extending a cons1derable distance up inside the tank where it is secured to the tank to make it more secure.

To describe my invention so that others versed in the art to which it pertains may make and use the same I have illustrated it on the accompanying sheet of drawing forming a part of this specification in which:

Figure 1, is a front elevation of apeanut warmer embodying my invention, and Fig. 2, is a central, vertical sectional view of Fi 1.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout.

The fire box 3 is preferably made of galvanized iron and has four sides and the bottom l and rests on the four angle iron legs 5. Within the box 3 is the burner 6 which is connected by means of pipe 7 to the tank 8. The pipe 7 extends through the bottom of tank 8, to which it is secured by solder or otherwise, and up along the inner side of the tank to near its top where it is also secured to the tank by solder or otherwise. This means of fastening rigidly secures the pipe 7 to the tank 8 so there is no danger of the said parts becoming separated or by 1oosening become leaky.- The pipe 7 provided with a hole 9 just inside the tank 8 through which the gasolene in tank 8 will gravitate i into pipe 7 and thence descend to the burner 6. 'Ihe pipe 7 is provided with the usual `regulating valves 10 and 11.

The water receptacle 12 is arranged to fit into the open upper end of the fire box 3 and is provided with the nut receptacle 13 which is provided with the display compartment 14. The water receptacle 12 is arranged with its bottom just above the burner 6 and is provided with the handles 15 by means of which it can be lifted out of the box 3 whenever desired.`

The upper part of the water receptacle is providedwith an outwardly extending annular fiange 16 arranged to rest on the upper' edge of the fire box 3, and its uppermost portion 17 extends upward and inward on an incline and has its extremity 18 extending vertically. The upper edge of the nut receptacle 13 is formed into a-hook 19 which takes onto the edge 18 of the water receptacle 12 and is supported thereby.

The display compartment 14 is formed between the outer rectangular vertically disposed wall 20 and the inner rectangular vertically disposed wall 21 which are made of any desired height. The lower edge of wall 21 fits snugly outside the hook 19 of the nut receptacle 13 and serves as an upward extension of said receptacle 13. The wall 2O is provided with openings covered by glass 22 or other transparent material. The lower edge of the outer wall 20 rests loosely on the upper part 17 of the water receptacle 12 and is only soldered thereto at suitable intervals so as to permit any water, which may find its way into the display compartment 14:, to escape between the lower edge of wall 20 and the part 17.

A cover 23 is provided, hinged at 24, to inclose the nut receptacle 13 and the display compartment 14. The usual filling spout 24 and steam escape pipe 25 are provided on the water receptacle 12. l i y I-Iaving thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and `desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is ze* 1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a water receptacle and a nut receptacle, said nut receptacle supported on the water receptacle to be partly immersed in the water and its upper extremity terminating in an inner rectangular vertically disposed wall9 an outer rectangular vertically be obtained for disposed wall comprising transparent sheets spaced from the inner wall and supported on the upper part of the water receptacle to form a vertically disposed display compartment between the two walls and said outer ii'e'ctangiular, kvertically disposed wall sup'- ythefwater receptacle to be partly immersed vinthe water and its-,upper extremity terminating an inner rectangular vertically ldisliosedA wall,V yanouter rectangular vertically; disposedy wall comprising transparent sheets spacedr-om the'inner wall and supported by and secured to'the upper. inclined partfof the water receptacle to form a vertically disposed display compartment between vthe two z*walls `and saidL outer wall supported on the water receptacle in such manner as to form drain openings between the lower edge of said outer wall and the water receptacle to permit liquid to drain out of the display compartment.

v3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a water receptacle, and a nut receptacle, said nut receptacle supported on the water receptacle to be partly immersed in the water and its upper extremity terlninating in a rectangular vertically disposed inclosure and an outer vertically disposed inclosure comprising transparent sheets spaced from the inner inclosure to form a vertically. disposed display compartment between the two inclosures.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses this 5th day of September, 1912, at Chicago, Illinois.
